The warm & friendly welcome at reception and the quiet location of the room were all bonuses. Lovely hot shower, good quality kitchen crockery and glassware and the small dining area all added to the comfort of the room.

Easy and friendly check-in, room tidy but getting dated. Why, when there are not many customers, do you put people next door? I thought it would be better to spread everyone out.

Spent the night at this property when passing through on the way to Adelaide. Staff upon check in were lovely and very helpful with questions we had. The room was perfect for a family of 3, air conditioning worked very well, nice clean room and bathroom, complimentary bottles of water in the fridge along with milk, tea and coffee, the pool was very nice after a long drive but you do need to leave a $20 deposit which you get back when you return the key, we will definitely be back again on our next trip.

Excellent nights sleep! Rooms may be a bit older and not too glamorous but served the purpose of an overnight stay while passing through. Clean and comfortable- TV really small and shower floor very slippery but otherwise comfortable.
